» Monday, February 9, 2004Star-Ratings
Asked if the Government would continue with its star-ratings policy for hospitals, the PMOS said that John Reid had put out a statement today saying that, “The Government is committed to ensuring that simple to understand star-rating hospital performance information will continue to be published”. The next set were due out in July. From April 2004, the star-ratings system would be handled by the Commission for Health Improvement (CHI). The same system would continue until 2005. A discussion was currently underway about the information which underpinned the performance rankings from 2006. However, the Government remained fully committed to providing information to the public in a way they found useful. We were also committed to more transparency on these issues, rather than less.
